JTopla dropped to their knees, the wood and the bad, the just and the ffllftist, because every body was sure it was the end of the world. The following morning the sun shone as brightly as it ever had and as the men folks dusted off their pants at the knees, they became as cocky as ever and said they just did as the crowd did. but they didn't believe a word of it even when it was happening. Years later and in our remembrance, the members of a certain religious organization gave away or threw away all of their goods and chattels, because they said they had it all figured out. based on Bible prophecies, that on a certain day the’World would come to an end. Well, of course it did not happen; hut many of the believers, as a result "Vs their fanaticism, lived in poverty to the end of their days. At the present time, certain people are going to have the world go to snwish based on algebraic deductions. Having lived through so many cycles when everything was going to boom, when business was never " going to be on a paying basis, when it was predicted that there would be no work for anybotly'fb do. no money with which to ptyshase, everybody wanting to cell and nobody in a position to buy. and then seeing the thing switch with prosperity once more in the saddle, you can hardly blame us when we refuse to join the pessimistic army, when we go right along working hard and allowing the Almighty to run things as he deems- Is for best good of all.—J. K-mdleberger of Kalamazoo Vegetjble Parchment Company. Second street and Marshall street wijt be resurfaced and several other. streets as petitioned for under the title of the Bernstine improvement petition, will be rebuilt, the work Mo begin at once. That will mean a wonderful improvement to I the city, will provide work for a number of people for the next several _yeeks and will meet the approval of most of the people of the township. The proposed improvement has been held up several weeks because of hesitancy on the part of the state tax board to recommend expenditures except in cartes where deemed absolutely necessary. The fact that the proposition now has the approval of that board is evidence of the need. Second street has been in a bad condition for some time and while the other streets might have been made passable, it was impossible to improve the down town section under the three-mile law without extending the petition M as to reach outside the city limits. Under their rights given them by the laws of Indiana a number of citizens have remonstrated against the county general fund, the highway repair fund and the Hartford township tax levy and this will be heard in due time by the state auth-

orities. When the budgets were fixed here it was the opinion of those posted that every cut possible had been made but it will be interesting to hear the new evidence and the decision of those to whom appeal is thus taken. Its a cinch that it any lower tax rate is possible it will be acceptable but that should not occur at any detriment to the county. Labor and capital arc getting irritable with each other which usually occurs in a depression the size of the present one and thats bad. There should be a reasonable point i where both sides can meet and which would bring prosperity sooner. Thats the main thing and everyone should be doing those things which brings it about at the earliest moment. Dairy Day, October 14th with a great big program, starting early in the morning and continuing until late in the evening. There will be the calf show, a coon chase, a parade, speaking, distribution of gifts and souvenirs, special prizes, singing, entertainment, music, pep meetings, plenty to eat, and special bargains in the stores. It ought to be a real day. The Indiana tax rate will remain unchanged at twenty-nine cents on the hundred. The tax board evidently believes that counties and townships and cities and school corporations can reduce but that th.e state cannot which is one of the difficulties with state control. However we suppose we should be thankful it wasn't raised. This office is equipped to do any kind of job printing and we need some business. If you are in the market we will be gl-ad to quote you. to assist in preparation of the copy, to get it out promptly and guarantee the work. Please call 1,000 if you need any thing. The big ditch case will have to move faster than it has up to date or it will not be decided in time tor those interested to enjoy Christmas. Alright boys lets put Dairy Day over with such a bang of a success that every one will admit it can be done here any time. Good stationery helps your business and we will be glad to get out any thing you need at moderate prices.
